[If you think it's strange for Laharl to be making a text post, you're right. Unfortunately he's lost the power of speech, so this is the only way to communicate clearly. At least he doesn't have to hold up signs or something.]

I'm looking for someone who can paint.

[Yeah, the content of this post is also a little strange.]

And I don't mean some mediocre amateur, but someone who's got actual talent. With the technique anyway. Imagination isn't required. In fact, a lack of it is preferable.

[Yup, that's the first thing that Laharl will see, before a teenage boy with brown hair lowers the picture from in front of the camera.]

Is that good enough?

[Hair antennae?]

I assumed I was speaking to people with eyes.

Being better than you doesn't make me an artist.

[He switches back to video, because there's no way he can type this name out.]

If you really don't mean any harm, the only good painter I know about is Amaterasu. She painted a picture of me and my mom and dad.

[What he doesn't know is that Amaterasu left Vatheon a while ago.]

[Text]

[makainoou]

[A pause as he checks the contact list...]

There's no one here by that name. Some help you are.
